DRONES FOR
TV & FILM
FAA licensed aerial cinematography for feature films, streaming series and television — IATSE Local 600 union or non-union crews, with teams in Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas and Miami.
AERIAL CINEMATOGRAPHY FOR
FILM & TELEVISION PRODUCTION
We Fly Aerial Media provides drone cinematography for feature films, streaming originals, episodic television and unscripted productions, with FAA Part 107 licensed pilots and dedicated camera operators who know how to perform on a union set under time pressure. Our dual-operator crews pair a pilot with a drone camera operator (DCO) so the aerial unit matches the look and discipline of the ground unit — pre-viz, shot lists and safety plans included.
We staff productions as IATSE Local 600 union crew or non-union, with teams based in Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas and Miami and travel anywhere the production goes. Every operation carries a $10M–$25M aviation liability policy with certificates of insurance issued same day, plus waivers for night, over people and over moving vehicles — meeting the requirements of all major studios, networks and streamers.

WHAT WE SHOOT
BUILT FOR THE SET

Episodic Television
Network and cable series, pilots and recurring shows — fast, repeatable setups that keep the day on schedule.
